22、om his mom. “Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!” Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are co
23、nsidering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home. This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have ch
24、anged family spending. “Were excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mikes father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, youve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. Youre looking at about $3,000
25、 a year, just for travel.” As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased. Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously conside
26、ring the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesnt want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I dont want that either.

32、 harmony of the countryside. I left my hotel early and drove south to the Bear Run Nature Reserve. As I arrived, I was immediately impressed by the charming Laurel Highlands and other natural sights. However, I was not there to enjoy beauty: I was there to see a house, one of the most famous houses
33、in the world.The house I had come to see is Fallingwater. It is called Fallingwater because it was built over a waterfall. As most houses are built on solid ground, this houses location instantly made it famous. When you approach the house, surrounded by forest, streams and mountains, it looks as th
34、ough the clear blue water were flowing through it, since the stream rushes out from under the ground floor of the building.The house was designed by the architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, for businessman Edgar Kaufman and his family. As I toured the house, I learnt that it took Wright three years to bui
35、ld the place. The Kaufman family had asked him to design them a home in the middle of the countryside where they could enjoy the sights and sounds of the natural world. Though they lived in the city, they loved to come to the mountains to spend some time in the peace and quiet of nature, where they
36、could go camping in the forest and play in the stream with their children. In fact, they loved the water so much that they asked Wright to design a house that would let them view the beautiful waterfall every day.Many people have suggested that this incredible building is a work of art, and I would

But thanks to savvy driving, they consume proportionately less gasoline the rest of the nation. Here, some tips from t
48、he Golden State that will help drivers all over the country to get up to 25% more miles per gallon! By SUSAN NESTORFREEWAY FRENZY Try to maintain a steady speed especially on freeways and expressways. Never exceed a steady 55 mph. Varying speed by as little as 5mph can reduce mileage by 1.5 miles pe
49、r gallon. Avoid constant lane changes to “get ahead.” Buy radial tyres. If you do a lot of expressway driving, they can increase mileage by as much as 10%. Your fuel savings will pay for the higher tyre price.ON CITY STREETS Plan your route. City driving consumes about 50% more fuel than highway dri
50、ving (100% more in crowed traffic). Always choose a route with synchronized traffic signals to get the best run for your money. Avoid unnecessary braking. Anticipate（预期）traffic light changes; it takes a lot of extra gas to get the car up to speed again.COLD In winter, keep the car in a garage. It wi
51、ll start up easier, and start-up time is when you use the most gasoline. No garage? Cover the engine compartment with an old blanket or rug to shield it from cold winds; remove before starting up. Remove all ice and snow. Driving in snow consumes more gas anyway; no sense hauling around extra weight
52、.65. All these above are _ for drivers. A. noticesB. tips C. lessons D. advertisements 66. Highway driving can use about _ fuel than city driving.A. 20% more B. 20% less C. 50% moreD. 50% less67.

53、n a garage.B. Drivers should avoid necessary breaking and constant lane changes. C. A steady 65 mph is the ideal speed to save gasoline. D. Radial tyres can help increase mileage in expressway driving. (B)Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known for his work in civil rights and for his many famous spe
54、eches, among them his moving “I Have a Dream” speech. But few people know much about Kings childhood, Martin Luther as he was called was born in 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia, at the home of his maternal grandfather. Martin Luthers grandfather, the Reverend A.D. Williams, purchased their home on Auburn
55、Avenue in 1909, 28 years before Martin Luther was born. The Reverend A.D. Williams, an eloquent speaker, played an important role in the community because so many peoples lives centered around the church. He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of organizations
56、dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. Martin Luther grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as community gathering place, and was no doubt influenced by it. Martin Luthers childhood was not especially memorable. His father was a minister and his mother was a music
57、ian. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools in a black neighbourhood. The neighbourhood was not poor, however, Auburn Avenue was the main artery through a prosperous neighbourhood that he had come to symbolize achievement for Atlantas black people. It was area of bank
58、s, insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers and other black-owned or black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of Atlantas segregation (种族隔离), district thrived. Dr. King never forgot the community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial p
59、rejudice（歧视） that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from mingling with whites. 68. This passage mainly gives an account of _.A. the prejudice that existed in AtlantaB. Martin Luthers grandfatherC. Martin Luther Kings childhoodD. the neighbourhood where King grew up69.
60、According to the author, King was influenced by _. A. community spiritB. black lawyerC. his motherD. his grandfathers speeches70. The word “mingling” in paragraph 2 is the closest in meaning to _.A. interferingB. consumingC. associatingD. meeting71. This passage tells us that Martin Luther King, Jr.
61、 _.A. had a difficult childhoodB. was a good musician when he was a boyC. loved to listen to his grandfather speakD. grew up in a relatively rich area of Atlanta6567 BDD 6871 CACD（卢湾）(A)In a new study, 186 four-year-old kids were given regular carrots and, on other lunch days, they were given the sa
62、me vegetables renamed X-ray Vision Carrots. On the latter days, they ate nearly twice as many. The study suggests the influence of these names might persist. Children continued to eat about 50 percent more carrots even on the days when they were no longer labeled as anything special. The research, f
63、unded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, was presented at the annual meeting of the School Nutrition Association in Washington, D.C.“Cool names can make for cool foods,” said the lead author Brian Wansink of Cornell University. “Whether it be power peas or dinosaur broccoli trees, giving a food
64、a fun name makes kids think it will be more fun to eat. And it seems to keep working even the next day,” Wansink said. Similar results have been found with adults. A restaurant study showed that when the Seafood Filet was changed to Romantic Hawaii, sales increased 28 percent and taste rating increa
65、sed by 12 percent. “Same food, but different expectations, and a different experience,” said Wansink, author of “Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think.”The study was conducted in pre-schools, but the researchers believe the same naming tricks can work with children at home.“Ive been using t
66、his with my kids,” said researcher Collin Payne, “Whatever sparks(激发) their imagination seems to spark their appetite.” 65.Those four-year-old kids ate _ when the carrots were renamed X-ray Vision Carrots.

But how about movies for phones? They are getting their turn at MoFil
70、m the first mobile film festival.The first MoFilm competition received 250 entries from more than 100 countries. Entries were restricted to films that were five minutes or less in length ideal for viewing and sharing on mobile phones. An independent jury then selected a shortlist of five film-makers
71、. The winner was chosen from the shortlist by an audience voting using their phones.l New PlatformsThe awards highlight the increasing impact that mobile phones are making in the entertainment industry. Many grassroots filmmakers start out with short films. They are thwarted by the lack of opportuni
72、ties to screen their work. Therefore, mobile phones are increasingly being seen as a new platform for these short works.It is a good place for anyone who wants to express themselves and find a way to have that expression be seen by a wide audience. Just think about how many people have mobile phones
73、 in the world!l New Technology AdvancesMoFilm is pioneering content for mobile and online services that is a world away from Hollywood. The majority of films made for mobiles are now short in length, taking into account the screen size. However this could be overcome as technology advances.In the ne
74、ar future, longer films will likely be seen on the mobile phone. And there are mobile companies creating phones where users can watch movies at higher quality.

Recently more and more hospitals and
84、clinics have been tapping into the power of music - not only to comfort patients, but to help them heal as well. Welcome to the world of music therapy. After each of the two world wars, musicians visited hospitals and played instruments for injured soldiers suffering from emotional and physical pain
85、. Todays music therapists continue this practice, playing instruments such as guitars and harps to bring comfort to their audiences.Therapist Eric Mammen encourages his patients at a childrens hospital to participate with him as he plays. During visits with 13-year-old cancer patient Lawrence Garcia
86、, Mammen encourages Garcia to beat on electric drums while he plays the guitar. The therapy wont cure his cancer, but it does, according to Garcias mom, take away much of the boys depression.Music therapy can elevate patients moods and ease the symptoms of depression according to the American Music
87、Therapy Association. Other benefits include relieving pain, calming tension, aiding sleep, counteracting worry or fear, and easing muscle tension.Jose Haro personally experienced the benefits of music therapy when he was recovering from heart surgery. During his recovery, he played a piano whose key
88、s lit up, indicating which keys to touch to play along with the background music. Soon, he was playing tunes and noticing something strange. “I was searching for my pain.” He says of his experience, “but it was gone.”While Haros experience provides an evidence of the power of music to relieve pain,
89、scientific research has proven music also helps patients with Alzheimers disease and arthritis.In addition, music therapy helps premature (早产的) babies. Doctors are tapping into a powerful way to teach premature babies that havent yet learned how to suck. Doctors use a device that comforts the babies
90、 by playing music when they suck on a pacifier (奶嘴). Soon, the babies learn to suck in return for music, gaining weight faster and going home earlier than those who dont use the device.Even perfectly healthy people are discovering the power of music to calm and heal. Drum circles attract people who
91、find stress relief in pounding out rhythms. While music isnt a cure-all, it does make life a little easier.68.In the first paragraph, the underlined phrase “tapping into” can be replaced by “_”.A. discussing onB. looking forC. showing interest inD. making use of69.According to the passage, Jose Haro

Some of them are building solar collectors for their energy course. These young scientists arc part of C
95、ity Building Educational Program (CBEP). a particular program for kindergarten through twelfth grade that uses the stages of city planning to teach basic reading, writing and math skills, and more.The children dont just plan any city. They map and analyze the housing, energy, and transportation requ
96、irements of their own district and predict its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom. says the teacher who
97、developed this program. They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected official and planning group mates all the desig
98、n decisions for the model city, and the teacher steps back and becomes an adviser.CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the childrens own standards.65.T

But chinking may come naturally without your knowing how you do it. Thinking about thinking is the key to critical thinking. When
102、 you think critically, you take control of your thinking processes. Otherwise, you might be controlled by the ideas of others. Indeed, critical thinking is at the heart of education.The word critical here has a special meaning. It does not mean taking one view against another view, as when someone c
103、riticizes another person for doing something wrong. The nature of critical thinking is thinking beyond the easily seen beyond the picture on TV, the untrue reports in the newspapers, and the faulty reasoning.Critical thinking is an attitude as much as an activity. If you are curious about life and d
104、esire to dig deeper into it, you are a critical thinker. If you find pleasure in deep thinking about different ideas, characters, and facts, you are a critical thinker.Activities of the mind and higher-order reasoning are processes of deep and careful thinking. They take time, and do not go hand in
105、hand with the fast speed in todays world: fast food, instant coffee, and self-developing film. If you are among the people who believe that speed is a measure of intelligence, you may learn something new from a story about Albert Einstein. The first time Banesh Hoffman, a scientist, was to discuss h

Some people spend all their lives trying to forge: bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people wi
109、th terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might
110、 reduce ,or possibly erase(t ),the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, n
111、ot that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea. While others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memo
112、ries.Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry(精神病) at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve a lot of that suffering.But those
113、 who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity ($M). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wip

119、cent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a
120、 dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it. Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Pos book at an angle of 30 degrees. Be realistic and dont try to complete too much in one study

127、inding life enjoyable are not always the same. Women often are told “You cant have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you cant expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children whats all this abou
128、t wanting a career?” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety a
129、nd depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in
130、 mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）. For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us id
131、entify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our
132、study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.A womans well-being is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles marriages, motherhood, and emplo
133、yment were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.65. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that _.A. for women, a sense of mastery is more important than a sense of pleasureB. for women, a sense of pleasure is more-important than a sense of masterC. women cant
134、 have a sense of mastery and a sense of pleasure at the same timeD. a sense of mastery and a sense of pleasure are both necessary to women66. The authors attitude towards women having a career is_.A. negative B. positive C. indifferent D. realistic67. One can conclude from the passage that if a woma
135、n takes on several social roles,_.A. it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strainB. she wi了l be more successful in her careerC. her chances of getting promoted will be greaterD. her life will be richer and more meaningful68. Which of the following can be considered as a source of pleasure
136、 for Women? A. Family life B. Multiple roles in society C. Regular employment D.

Reading 6568 D B DA 6971 D B C（徐汇）(A)One day in l965, when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattle, a fourth-grade teacher approached me. She had a
143、student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge. Could he help in the library? She asked.

The next morning, he arrived early. I want to finish these books, he said. At the end of the day, when he asked to be a lib
146、rarian on a regular basis, it was easy to say yes. He worked untiringly.After a few weeks I found a note on my desk, inviting me to dinner at the boys home. At the end of a pleasant evening, his mother announced that the family would be moving to neighbouring school district. Her sons first concern,
147、 she said, was leaving the View Ridge library. Who will find the lost books? he asked.When the time came, I said a reluctant good-bye. I missed him, but not for long. A few days later he came back and joyfully announced: The librarian over there doesnt let boys work in the library. My mother got me

His body ached and he felt constantly tired. It was difficult for him to even move around. He consulted his physician, who did many te
177、sts. Eventually he, was diagnosed （诊断）) as having a very serious form of arthritis(关节炎) .His doctor told Rim that he would not be able to walk and eventually die from the disease. He was told he had only a 1 in 500 chance of survival In spite of the diagnoses,. Cousins was determined to overcome the
178、 disease and survive. He had always been interested in medicine and had read the work of organic chemist Hans5elye, The Stress of Life (1956). This book discussed the idea of how body chemistry and the health can be damaged by emotional stress and negative attitudes. Selyes book made Cousins think a
179、bout the possible benefits of positive altitudes and emotions. He thought, if negative emotions produce negative changes in body, wouldnt positive emotions produce positive chemical changes? Is it possible that love, hope, faith, laughter, confidence, and the will to live have positive therapeutic v
180、alue? He decided to concentrate .on positive. Emotions as a remedy to heal some of the symptoms of his illness. In addition to his traditional medical treatment, he tried to put himself in situations that would bring about positive emotions. Laugh-therapy became part of his treatment. He scheduled t
181、ime each day for watching comedy films, reading humorous books, and doing other activities that would bring about laughter and positive emotions. Within eight days of starting his laugh therapy program, his pain began to decrease and he was able to sleep more easily. His body chemistry even improved
182、. Doctors were able to see an improvement in his condition! He was able to return to work in a few months time and actually reached complete recovery after a few years. . 65.Howdid he respond to his diagnosis?- - -A. He decided to fight against the disease.B. He became emotionally unstable.C. He ref
183、used to take any treatment.D. He consulted another doctor for advice.hat was the result soon after he adopted the Laugh therapy?A. His recovery is beyond imaginationB His pain began to decrease and sleep is easy. C. He returned to work immediately D. His pain decreases, but he cant sleep well.67. We
184、 can learn from the passage that 。 A.attitude is a little word but it matters a lotB.a great many emotions always mix togetherC.misfortune comes on wings and departs on footD. confidence in yourself is the first step to success(B)Too often young people get themselves employed quite by accident, not
185、knowing what lies in theway of opportunity for promotion, happiness and security. As a result, they are employed doing jobs thatafford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leavers face so much competition that they seldom carewhat they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay, long at a
186、 job and learn to like it; others quit-from one to another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates took for jobs that offer asalary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason Behind all this conf
187、usion is that there never has been a proper vocational guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all grope (摸索) in the dark and their chief concern when looking for a job is salary. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits th
188、em. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a career you should first c
189、onsider the type of work suiting your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only discourage your desire to succeed in life but also ruin your talents and eventually make you a better person. 68. The difficulty for graduates in choosing
190、 a suitable job Hes mainly m the tact that.A.certain fierce competition has to be facedB.many employees have no working experienceC.the young people only care about how much they can earnD.schools fail to offer students proper vocational guidance69.The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed
191、in life is that they.A. have ruined their talentsB. have taken on ah unsuitable jobC.think of nothing but their salaryD.are not aware of their own potential70.The word pathetic in the passage most probably means.A. unsatisfactoryB. miserableC. annoyingD. astonishing71.The best title for this passage would be.A.
